mitch mcconnell the minority leader of the senate said my job is to make sure that obama tkaoepbts have a secon doesn't have a second term. with all this in mind it's sort of difficult to see how they will help you. martha: even with mcconnell's statement you can look at that statement and look at everything else mitch mcconnell has said and you can say it's because mitch mcconnell doesn't believe that the policies that the president is promoting are the best thing for america. he has a different way of doing it, so of course he doesn't want this person to be president because he thinks that they are going to take the country in a direction that he feels is not best. it's a negation of the idea that republicans have their own brain, that they are thinking about things on their own and they are not simply evil. it seems to me that the leadership on that, on understanding that both sides have good motives needs to come from the top. bob, address that and then i know kate will want to jump in as well. >> i don't -- i think people do have good mo motives. let's face it there are flat differ
